Description

The striking Seeburg HF100R came out in 1954 and like its slightly earlier sister machine, the HF100G, it can be seen as the end of an era for this highly regarded jukebox manufacturer. Their V-200 was introduced shortly afterwards and the new machine featured a radical overhaul of the internal workings.

One thing that didn’t change was Seeburg’s trademark record storage system, which not only held the disks in a vertical row but also played them in the same orientation. (The vast majority of jukeboxes would of course deposit the record on a more conventional horizontal turntable) The HF100R plays up to 50 vinyl 45s, giving 100 selections.

The HF100R has gorgeous Art Deco detailing and with her chromed panels she's a real beauty, echoing the car styling of the 1950's but with a subtle nod to the space age too. Many of these classic jukeboxes had starring roles in period movies and TV series, and whilst the HF100G was used extensively in the 'Happy Days' diner, where it was routinely coaxed into life by the Fonz, its stablemate saw action in several 'Goodfellas' scenes. 

All of our vintage products are sourced to order and restored in our workshops in Surrey by our talented in-house team.

We offer a Grade A1 restoration as standard. We do not use a restoration checklist as every component is checked and refurbished as part of our uncompromising refurbishment process.

We are thorough and comprehensive throughout and are striving to deliver a machine that is near to how it came out of the factory. All of our restorations are guaranteed by our 1 year on site parts & labour warranty.

 

Music and Title Cards Pricing

Music itself is an important part of our business, as reflected by our treasured vinyl library, so we are able to help you source and create the perfect playlist. We also make all of the title cards in original typewriter font – so if you’re a bit stuck for choice, we are only too happy to help.

The charge for vintage records is £15 + VAT per record, this covers most records however some are highly collectable for which we have to pay a premium and are charged at a higher price. The title card service is £75.00 + VAT.

It is quite an involved process to supply records as we buy them in from dealers or collectors, they will only guarantee the "A" side, so often many records do not pass with us because we always supply records with playable "B" sides as well as the "A".

The centres are then cut (big hole centres) which also leads to some breakage as some of the records split due to their age. Finally they are hand washed and then played both "A" and "B" side on a gramophone for sound quality, only then are they fit to go on the Jukebox. The final check is again playing "A" and "B" side as you would hear it on your Jukebox.

It's all about delivering good quality sound for our clients and if you are investing in a vinyl jukebox the standard of the records have to demonstrate the high standard of our restorations.
